"You Might Be A "Real Baby Boomer" (RBB) If..."

If you had sex with someone, in the shower, washing off the tear gas residue from being gassed by the pigs for demonstrating against the invasion of Cambodia, ...

Or you remember the Huntley/Brinkley Report...or Tim Buckley...Connie Stevens & Troy Donahue...Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb!...the Edsel...Hoola-Hoops...Hopalong Cassidy...

If you remember civil defense sirens and hiding under your school desk with a book over your head awaiting the inevitable nuclear attack by the Soviet Union,...

Or when Ram Das was still Richard Alpert, and Herb Alpert was HOT,...

If you remember being scared shitless every time a car engine backfired during the Cuban Missile crisis...

Or went out with a date to the drive-in, bought snacks, watched (or not) a minimum of two movies, and got burgers afters, all for less than $5, including gas...

If you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing in school at the very moment you first heard the news that JFK had been assassinated...
